Developing a sense of mindfulness takes patience and practice. Simply, you can start by asking yourself, “what’s on your mind?”

Checking in with your inner self, asking to your true inner soul what’s on your mind can guide you to pleasant retreats of mindfulness.

“In Asian languages, the word for ‘mind’ and the word for ‘heart’ are same. So if you’re not hearing mindfulness in some deep way as heartfulness, you’re not really understanding it. Compassion and kindness towards oneself are intrinsically woven into it. You could think of mindfulness as wise and affectionate attention.” ~Jon Kabat-Zin

Take a few minutes and practice asking yourself “what’s on your mind?” right now. Turn off telephone, television, radio, and any other device or person that could distract you and then laser the question to your inside.

Listen, hear your heart…take time to pay attention to what is resonating within you right now. What are you hearing? What do you feel as you ask yourself (in silence or out loud) what is on my mind.

Capture the feeling, store it in your recessive progressive file of memories and come back from your inner mindful state of listening slowly and peacefully.

Check in now, how do you feel? How did that exercise of inner listening cause a shift? What insight did you experience? Next, take a few more seconds to record in words your feelings and the active presence of the experience.

Mindfulness takes patience and practice. One way to sustain this new activity and soon make it your new habit is to make intentional, definite plans to clear your space and mind to start first weekly inner mindfulness check in and remember to write a brief record of your examination of feelings and insights. Then when you are ready to do this exercise daily, patiently do so. Make a point to practice mindfulness when and at whatever time is prime for you.

Kiss your indecision goodbye. Kiss your complaints or conflict goodbye. Kiss fault lines goodbye. From now on, all you have to do is KISS life.

KISS – a simple formula to navigate life.

Keep

It

Short

Sweet

Keep your words and intention short and sweet, meaning live from your empathetic heart. Instead of talking to someone in a raging diatribe, KISS it. Say what you mean simply but absent venom. Managing any relationship can present challenges, but the sweetness of life offers the opportunity to regulate emotions and re-assign fault.

When you KISS a decision, it lifts you beyond the messiness of constant quandary. Think about the choices you have when posed with a personal challenge and then think short and sweet of the outcomes after which it is time to make a decision.

Japanese use the term arugamama to describe a sense of acceptance. KISS is your arugamama – you accept what you need to confront and then use simple, sweet active steps to live whole.

Questions energize the mind. Questions activate life. You live expectantly when you engage your mind and life by asking questions. The more you ask questions, the more you expand your truth.

Inquisitive minds want to know. Think, ask questions so that you review what you have learned and also broaden your exposure to what you have yet to know.

“I am always looking and I am always asking” ~Anne Rice

What’s your question? Ask, discover, probe, inquire.

One of the pivotal basics of life is to question. Be unafraid to pause to think about what you accept as fact. Challenge assumptions, require more informed answers. Think beyond the status quo, ask about new solutions.

No question is unanswerable. All questions should prompt new questions. Live your life with a question mark in your mind. This is not to be a doubter or arrogant, questions invigorate thinking. See things differently and then live with that different perspective until it’s time to question even that. Grow your mind, a more intriguing life will follow.

Og Mandino is a prober, he says “Never be too big to ask questions. Never know too much to learn something new.”
